- Ali has been my stylist for years. I always feel and look great after the haircut. She listens well and does not rush u to make a decision. This is also a great place to get your hair died. I always get compliments on my highlights :-) they have a wonderful selection of color, and the products they sell r worth it!

I have gone to Ali over the past year, and she's been fantastic. She is great with highlights, cutting hair including my thick wavy hair, and styling. The salon is very welcoming and relaxing. I have no complaints. Overall, I have had a very pleasant experience with Ali and the rest of the staff, and I would recommend this salon.
Update - 8/20/2013
Love Ali!! She is awesome!!! Definitely recommend going there for cut, color etc.. The only reason its a 4 not a 5 star is because Ali doesn't work on Saturday's :( When she does I will upgrade .
- 4/19/2013 OK, I gave this 4 stars because the final product is great. Heather the owner is great & Ali saved… Read more »

If you want great color, relaxing fn experience and an awesome cut, go see Katelynn. This place is great and very reasonably priced.

For approximately the past six months, I have had the pleasure of being one of Stephanie's clients. Reflections of You is a wonderful salon where clients are treated with kindness and courtesy. Stephanie is an absolute genius! I came to her with a crazy hair situation which included a dramatic two-toned dye job, a Japanese straightening, a retexturizing treatment, and all the damage to prove it! I requested a gorgeous light golden blonde hue, which she managed to achieve on the first try, despite all of my hair complexities! Since my first appointment, I have continued to get light golden blonde color, which has improved over time in terms of brightness and shine. In addition, Stephanie has given me two Brazilian blowouts, which have been a lifesaver in terms of taming my naturally wavy, poofy, fuzzy, frizzy hair. Stephanie has also given me great haircuts, although I have requested minimal trimming because I am trying to grow my hair out. In addition to being extremely skillful, talented, and meticulous, Stephanie is a super sweet gal, and I look forward to hanging out with her just as much as I look forward to the actual hair maintenance.
My entire family (husband + 2 adult children) all go to this salon! Bea is amazing: she highlights and styles my daughter's hair to her specifications, she texturizes my husband's and son's very thick unruly hair so that they look very stylish with very little upkeep, and she keeps my white, wiry, thick hair tamed and stylish so that I don't look like an old witch.
The salon is clean and well maintained and all of the staff is very friendly.

What a nice salon! When you first walk in it is clean, neat, and it smells good (not like chemicals and hair products). I have had my hair done there twice now by Ali and it turned out great! Hair color and cut! I am so happy with final results, I felt like I was understood right from the beginning with what I wanted. I was absolutely recommned going here and asking for ALI! Great stylist, professional, and gets it right!
- Amy V.
I want to thank Katelyn for doing an amazing job with my hair. I have naturally curly/frizzy hair. Katelynn was excited for me to try the Brazilian Blowout. I have tried other straightening techniques with fair results so I honestly wasn't expecting much. I am blown away by how great my hair looks. It has been over 16 weeks, through the heat and humidity of summer, and my hair still looks wonderful.
Aside from walking out with a great style, I thoroughly enjoyed the time with Katelynn. She was a delight to work with and went above and beyond helping me find products and showing me techniques to help me keep my hair looking great as long as possible. Her outgoing and genuinely kind personality helped make the process fly by. I cannot wait to work with Katelynn again. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Reduce Lines and Wrinkles Around Your Eyes Reflections of You Fairfax Salon and Spa
Which eye creme is best for you?
Not all eye creams are created equal, depending on your skin type and age, you may find the one you are using isn’t working as well as you’d expect. Read on and brush up on what you need to know about eye creams.In your twenties to early thirties, you need an eye cream to support the delicate skin, keeping it healthy while diminishing the possibility of damage so you’ll look better as you age. If your skin is oily and/or your eye makeup tends to run, choose a gel formula, which is less creamy.
Try Vital C Hydrating Eye Recovery Gel, it hydrates, firms, and reduces dark circles. In your later thirties into your forties, the focus should shift to maintaining the skin structure, and combating the signs of visible aging. Products with high-grade peptides are beneficial for this age group. Try the MAX Eye Crème, which reduces fine lines and prevents cell aging. Once you hit your later forties and beyond, it’s important to look for a cream that supports tissue health, prevents further damage, and reduces the signs of visible aging. I recommend Ageless Total Eye Lift Crème. The peptide blend reduces inflammation, fine lines are visibly reduced, and dark circles are diminished. Be sure to use your eye cream twice daily for maximum results, or as directed. Choosing the appropriate cream for your age and skin type will leave you bright eyed, helping you look younger, and better rested, every day.

Age Spots ? Reflections of You Fairfax Salon & Spa Skincare
Brighten Up! Banish Age Spots And More With Ageless Total Skin Lightening Serum.
Reply
Brighter, more even skin-tone is a goal a lot of us have. Freckles, sun damage, pigmentation abnormalities and acne lesions can make our skin look less than luminous. Using Ageless Total Skin Lightening Serum daily gives your skin the ammunition against unsightly skin irregularities, leaving you with an even complexion.Most of us have some form of pigmentation issue. Maybe you cannot see it with the naked eye, but it is there. Have you ever looked at your skin under an ultraviolet light like a Woods Lamp? If not, ask your skin care professional to let you take a peek, you may be shocked to see the damage your skin has endured.
Those issues that you can see with the naked eye make your skin look dull, uneven and rough. The cause of these abnormalities is in our melanin cells, which gives our skin its color. When these cells are damaged or otherwise compromised, they react by clumping together, which produces these types of skin issues.
Ageless Total Skin Lightening Serum uses a combination of proven ingredients to lighten freckles, age spots, melasma (dark patches) and even calms the redness associated with Rosacea, sunburn, and post peel treatments. This serum contains Rumex, a plant derived botanical that is a tyrosinase (the enzyme that produces melanin cells) inhibitor. In addition, Kojic Acid, Mulberry, Bearberry and Licorice lighten skin naturally. Green Tea reduces inflammation, while antioxidants including Vitamin C and Emblica work to prevent further damage from free radicals. The serum is oil-free, and great for all skin conditions. In addition to the lightening benefits, you will see tighter, younger looking skin.
Using this serum daily is a great step to more beautiful skin. In addition, to decrease the chances of further damage, do not pick at your acne, this leads to scarring and worsening of the condition. Always use a sunscreen like Prevention + Daily and limit your sun exposure.
Using Ageless Total Skin Lightening Serum plus following these simple rules will get you the glowing, even, gorgeous skin you’ve been longing for, naturally.

Better Healthier Skin. Reflections of You Fairfax Salon and Spa Skincare tips
Want Instantly Better Skin? Exfoliate!
Everybody needs to exfoliate, no matter your age or skin condition. Getting better skin fast is quite easy. Just make sure to add a product that exfoliates into your daily routine, and you’ll get glowing skin in no time. Exfoliation helps skin look better right away by removing dead cells from the skin’s surface.
As we age our cell turnover rate decreases, taking longer for your new cells to reach the outer layer of skin and leaving your complexion dull and lifeless. Additionally, those dead cells cause congestion resulting in black heads, bumpy or acne prone skin.
To rid your skin of the offending dead cells, choose one of Image Skincare’s products with exfoliating ingredients such as:
Ageless Total Facial Cleanser. This 3 in 1 cleanser (cleanser, exfoliator, toner) contains Glycolic Acid, a highly effective Alpha Hydroxy Acid exfoliant.
Ageless Total Anti-Aging Serum. Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids help speed cell turnover rates leaving skin smooth and renewed.
Ormedic Balancing Facial Cleanser. An organic 3 in 1 cleanser that utilizes Decyl Glucoside, a natural exfoliant and sugar surfactant that exfoliates, moisturizes, and protects skin.
The Clear Cell Line. All products in this line contain a variety of effective exfoliating ingredients, which are paramount to aiding in reducing skin lesions. AHA and BHA acids, Salicylic Acid, and Micro-Exfoliant beads help loosen congestion while protecting and balancing skin.
No matter your skin type, make exfoliation part of your daily skincare routine. You’ll see brighter, healthier skin instantly.

Adult Acne? Reflections of You Fairfax Salon and Spa Expert Skincare
Adult Acne, it happens!
Clear Cell Cleanser
Sebum, an oily substance secreted by our sebaceous glands is on one of the causes of adult acne. The sebum produced clogs pores, which attract bacteria and in turn pores become irritated and swollen. Additionally, many cases of adult acne are caused by hormonal imbalances. Overproduction of androgens, or male hormones, can make adult acne appear. But imbalances of the female hormones (estrogen) can also cause eruptions. Lastly, some medications and cosmetic ingredients can contribute to adult acne.
There are a few things to ensure a clearer complexion. First, make sure you wash your face properly. This may sound like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many of us don’t know how to do this simple task the way it should be. Cleanse your face twice daily, morning and night. Do not scrub, or use a washcloth, hands are best. A washcloth can irritate your already compromised skin, plus it can be a conductor of bacteria, aggravating the acne. Wash for 1 to 2 minutes, with warm, not hot (which can be drying) water. Keep your face clean during the day by not touching it with your hands.
Next, use a product, like the Clear Cell line, that are specifically formulated to treat, prevent, and nourish acneic skins. The line is designed to fight acne, reduce inflammation, eliminate excess oil, and purify. It includes:
• Clear Cell Salicylic Gel Cleanser
• Clear Cell Salicylic Clarifying tonic
• Clear Cell Salicylic Pads
• Clear Cell Medicated Acne Lotion
• Clear Cell Medicated Acne Masque
• Clear Cell Medicated Acne Facial Scrub
Adult acne can be treated successfully. Incorporate Clear Cell products into your skin care regimen for clearer, healthier skin.

How the Right Skin Care Can Protect Your Skin. Reflections Of You Salon And Spa Fairfax Va.
How the Right Skin Care Can Protect Your Skin
As anyone who has ever cut into an apple knows, the apple quickly turns brown when exposed to air. This is a great example of oxidation, a normal process where the cells die and are replaced with newer cells. Unfortunately, there are a small percentage of cells that change into damaged free radical cells. This can set off a chain reaction that encourages more cells to become damaged by binding with the mutated cell. Learn more about how the right skin care with antioxidants can help protect your skin.
Target Skin Cells
Antioxidants are nutrients and enzymes that have been proven to counteract and prevent damage. One of the main challenges in battling free radical damage in skin is getting antioxidants to the best location. Image Skincare’s Vital C Hydrating Facial Cleanser is an easy way to add antioxidants into your daily routine while targeting skin cells. It contains Vitamins A, C and E that work in combination with Green tea to soothe and repair cells.
Avoid Free Radical Damage
Using skin care with antioxidants can also help you to prevent and reduce the effects of free radical damage. Vitamin C contains an enzyme that ensures the chain reaction stops, while Vitamin E works during the process to stop damage in the process. The Vital C Hydrating A C & E Serum uses a unique combination that prevents and treats current cell damage and restores cell turnover. Natural anti aging products also work to repair aging cells while preventing damage from sunlight.
Get the Best Antioxidants
Even if you consume the ideal nutrients in your diet, it can be difficult to maintain the ideal combination of antioxidants. That is why Ideal Skincare’s Vital C line uses a blend of nutrients in their natural anti aging products. The Vital C Hydrating Anti Aging Serum uses Vitamin E, Grape seed extract, Green tea and Super Oxide Dismutase to ensure that you receive the right nutrients for your skin.
Look Younger by Updating Your Skin Care Routine. Reflections of You Fairfax VA. Salon And Spa
Ageless Total Retinol A Creme one of Image Skincare’s many natural anti aging products.
Skin Care Basics
Taking great care of your skin with natural anti aging products is one of the most effective ways to shave years off your looks. A great first step to revamping your routine is to start with a great exfoliator. The Ageless Total Resurfacing Masque can be used to reduce age spots and create a more even skin tone.
Using a daily cleanser, serum and moisturizer can help to protect and repair damage due to aging and the elements. Image Skincare’s Ageless Total Facial Cleanser and Ageless Total Anti Aging Serum are two simple steps to cleanse, fight wrinkles and renew collagen for brighter, younger looking skin.

The eyes are considered the windows to the soul. Unfortunately, that’s also where the first signs of aging can occur with fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles. A quick trick to brighten your eyes is to use anti aging skin products that are specifically developed for your eyes.
Ageless Total Eye Lift Creme tightens around the eyes while brightening dark spots. Natural anti aging products also protect cells from damage and repair with antioxidants that work at the cellular level. As eyes age, lashes become sparser and less full. Ageless Lashes Clear uses a blend of natural botanicals to make lashes fuller and younger looking.
Treat Problem Areas
Your skin care routine should be customized to solve challenges that your skin faces along with reducing the signs of aging. Image Skincare’s anti aging skin products solve problem areas such as rosacea with the Ageless Total Skin Lightening Serum. For acne-prone skin, the Ageless Total Retinol A Creme hydrates and repairs aging skin while reducing acne.

Miracle Skincare Moisture For All Skin Types Reflections Of You Salon And Spa
Hyaluronic Acid: Miracle Moisture For Every Type Of Skin
When it comes to skincare, there are a few things that everyone, regardless of skin condition, needs to do: cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize. When it comes to hydrating your skin, nothing does that (and a few other things!) better than hyaluronic acid. This miraculous fluid is not only indicated for dehydrated, aging, or post treatment skin, it is equally great for oily/acneic skin as well. So how does hyaluronic acid do it all?Hyaluronic acid is a fluid that is already present in the human body. It’s found in skin tissue and lubricates our joints. It can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, effectively binds water to cells, and is responsible for the elasticity and resiliency of the skin. This makes for a super hydration conductor that naturally affects our skin at the cellular level, without oils. Additionally, it works wonders on wounds and any type of irritated or post treatment skin, helping to promote the healing process.As we age, the hyaluronic acid in our body starts to deplete, so it’s a good idea to use a serum, like Ageless Total Pure Hyaluronic Filler on our skin on a daily basis. This unique solution is the perfect addition to any skincare routine. This super concentrated hyaluronic filler is infused with apricot essential oil plus Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant. Skin in transformed after just one application, leaving it totally hydrated. It is immediately plumped, moisturized, and smoothed, without the use of injections.If you lack moisture, your skin is lax, dry, and/or aging, try adding Ageless Pure Hyaluronic Filler to any Image Skincare product to boost its efficacy. Or, for an especially powerful overnight treatment apply the filler followed by Total Retinol-A Crème, you’ll be glowing in the morning. If you have oily or acneic skin, use the serum on its own, for hydration without oil. Smooth a few drops on cleansed skin and let it absorb. You’ll get immediate benefits either way.
For pure, honest hydration hyaluronic acid can’t be beat, no matter what your skin condition.

Reflections of You Salon and Spa Mens Skincare Tips
It’s a Guy Thing: Mens Skincare Tips
Typically, men don’t think much about taking care of their skin beyond grabbing a bar of soap to wash it. However, while men tend to have thicker, less sensitive skin than women, shaving can present a host of issues such as irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs. Knowing what to do (and what not to) is as simple as knowing our top 7 tips for keeping men’s skin in tip top shape:DO:
CLEANSE – everyone, needs to. Men usually prefer a bar to gels or cleansers. That said, soap could dry out skin and compromise the protective barrier, so look for a bar that is soap free. We recommend the Ageless Total Facial Cleanser, a gentle Glycolic Acid blend begins the exfoliating process to help reduce blackheads and ingrown hairs.
EXFOLIATE – this simple step goes a long way in alleviating ingrown hairs, which clog follicles and lead to acne and irritations. Regular exfoliation should take care of this issue and leave your skin smooth and clear.
(Tip: We recommend the Ageless Total Facial Cleanser, a gentle Glycolic Acid blend begins the exfoliating process to help reduce blackheads and ingrown hairs while leaving the skin completely clean in one easy step.)
MOISTURIZE – balanced skin needs hydration, no matter if it is oily, dry, or somewhere in between. Find one that is right for you and use it! If you tend to be on the oilier side, choose a light gel or oil free product.
PROTECT – sunscreen is essential even on cloudy days.
(Tip: Protect skin from the aging effects of the sun while keeping oil at bay with Prevention +, our all-in-one broad spectrum line of moisturizers with broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection.)
DON’T:
ALCOHOL – in after shave, or any other product you choose, alcohol can ravage your skin. It’s just not good for it. Alcohol dries skin and strips it of its natural moisture and PH levels.
FRAGRANCE – ditto for any products that have added fragrance. Sure you want to smell good, but you can pick a product that uses natural fragrance (think essential oils and such) instead. Artificial fragrance is one of the number one irritants in skin care.
Be mindful of these simple tips and you’ll be sure to have the best skin, and shave, of your life.

They have a set of magical powers that only women have access to… Okay, not really, but they are definitely useful for some pretty wacky beauty fixes.Ever have a friend, when giving beauty advice, start her sentence off with, “So… this may sound strange, but…” We’ve all heard some pretty crazy tips on how to zap a zit or fix oily hair… But do they really work?

Unruly Eyebrows?
Straighten those eyebrows out with a toothbrush! Simply swipe across your brows with a little hairspray, and voila, perfectly groomed brows.

Ali was my stylist and she sat down with me and asked a lot of questions about what I wanted and what I wanted my haircut to say about me, which was awesome! I had really long hair and wanted to get it cut super short. Before I started researching this salon I was terrified that my hair was going to turn out horribly, but Ali knocked the cut out of the park! I haven't had short hair for many many years and when I saw myself with my new cut, I was so happy with what she had done. She took the time to shape it and make sure it was perfect! She also showed me a few different ways to style it for different looks.
Ali was also fun and easy to talk to, really personable and friendly. I don't know any of the other stylists at this salon, but if they are anything like Ali, you will be really happy you went here. I will absolutely be going back for more cuts here. And I LOVE my haircut - it makes me feel beautiful and is exactly what I wanted!
